Me, deleting a scene from my fic: Ugh, that was self-indulgent twaddle
Me, adding the scene back in: Oh, wait, that’s the entire point of my writing fan fiction
Fight the good fight.

Rain Check || B.T.S of S.P. (Porn!AU)
I got inspired by this ask. And I’m tagging @quietcelt because they are the reason Ian and Rico are a couple in the porn!au.
Before she even opens her eyes, Rico reaches out for the warm body that should be next to her in the bed, ready for some early morning cuddles. They’d promised each other that today was gonna be spent hanging out in bed all day, after all. But no, his side of the bed isn’t cold but definitely colder than it should be, so he must have been out of bed for a few minutes at least.
Today marks the first day that either of them have had off in a while, neither of them would be anywhere near the Sina Productions house today. Ian had been granted a day off as he’d be unneeded as Erwin had decided that he was going to spend a day alone in the office working out all of the current paperwork he needed to get through and Rico had neither a shoot, nor any of her own paperwork to get up to date with, as yesterday had been the day when all of the usual tests had come in and so she’d filled them all in and handed them over to Petra at the end of the day to make sure that Levi got them today.

does anyone else suddenly get hit with flashes of dialogue or scenery or characterization that would be perfect to use if you actually had a plot you could incorporate it into
All the fucking time.

I feel this in my soul
aka why @strictly-nsfw-snk isn’t updated as often as i’d like
If you have written bad fanfiction clap your hands
why writing takes forever

Some embarrassing AUs to think about:
‘You were singing really loudly in the shower when I broke into your apartment but then i heard you slip and crash and oh god i should probably check on you in case i get done for murder instead of just robbery’ AU
‘I thought I was alone in the apartment block laundry room but you were taking a nap in the back corner and woke up to me dancing and singing Britney Spears with a towel around my neck like a cape’ AU
‘You wandered into the 24hr Tescos/Walmart etc. I work at drunk at 2am and now you’re crying over a lettuce and comparing it to your ex and I have to ask, are you okay?’ AU
‘I bet my coworker that i could fit a whole iced bun in my mouth and you walked in to buy a cake just as i choked and coughed it everywhere’ AU
‘I saw you at a con but mistook you for my friend from behind who was cosplaying the other half of our OTP so i kissed you from behind and OH MY GOD I’M SO SORRY’ AU
‘I’ve just finished watching Marley and Me in the cinema and snot is dripping down my face because “THEY SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE THAT’ and you’re the person who was sitting next to me the entire time and can’t get out of their seat until i move’ AU
Hospital Starters
[ Requested by Anon about a week ago. Warnings for blood, suicidal thoughts, and medical stuff. Thanks! :]
"Hey, you're awake!"
"Where am I?"
"You hit your head. There was so much blood that I got scared."
"Don't try to get up. You're safe here."
"I hate this place..."
"How could you do this to yourself?"
"The world didn't give me a choice, and now, I'm suffering even more!"
"You really came..."
"I told you I would be here when you woke up."
"How many tests did they do on you?"
"If I wasn't drugged up, I could tell you the names of every test they do in this place."
"When are they going to let you leave?"
"They said that I'll be here for a few days. Maybe a week."
"What happened to you? You have so many things sticking out of you."
"That's what happens when you're dying."
"It's probably time to change those bandages..."
"You aren't in pain, are you?"
"You were in an accident. You almost didn't make it."
"That would explain why I feel terrible."
"I thought you were dead..."
"I'm not dead, am I?"
"I didn't know it was this bad..."
"I may not live much longer..."
"I'm dying..."
"You can't die! There has to be something they can do!"
"I'm too far gone for any surgery to fix me."
"I want you to know that I'll miss you most."
"Don't say that! I don't like it when you talk like this..."
"I just want it to happen so I don't have to think about it all the time."
"I wanted to say goodbye to you one more time."
"If you don't get some sleep, I'm going to hit this button and tell a nurse you're bothering me."
"Don't abuse that call button!"
"You know that button only works every five seconds, right?"
"Maybe if I push it hard enough, more will come out."
"I get to come home today."
"Did you fill out the release forms yet?"
"They hooked me up with a bunch of prescriptions. I'm gonna be high as a kite."
Multi-chapter fics need love
Attention everyone.
The more chapters a fic has, the MORE YOU NEED TO COMMENT.
I’m looking at all these fics with lots of kudos, lots of hits, lots of subscriptions I’m sure, and then *crickets* at an update. IF THERE ARE SAY 100 PEOPLE SUBSCRIBED, WHY ARE THERE ONLY TWO COMMENTS?? Let’s say only 10% of the people still read it. That’s ten comments that should be there.
Too shy or worried or blah to comment? Here’s some copypastes for you:
I love this chapter so much.
I love reading this fic.
I think about this fic a lot.
It makes me happy when I see there is an update.
This story is so intense and well-written.
I’ve been following since the beginning and it’s better than I imagined.
I’ve fallen in love with your characterization.
*quote your favorite part* This is my favorite!
This fic made me think about a lot of things.
I’ve learned some things about myself reading this story.
This is my favorite fic of all time.
I reread this all the time.
*incoherent screaming*
This is absolutely delectable and I love it.
Use one! Use all! There are endless possibilities! Don’t feel pressured to write an essay. Just say that you are still here and you’re happy!
It would be preferable for you not to say
Can’t wait for the next chapter!
It’s ok when combined with other things, but if that’s all you say…..? We’re looking for love on the hard work we just posted
When you post your first chapter/oneshot, you worry: “Is anyone reading it? Does anyone like it? PLease someone, anyone!?” and you wait for people to come into your space.
When you post your Xth chapter, you already know that people are reading it, there’s already a crowd gathered. Even if it’s only a few people, you know that they are there. “Does no one like it? What’s going on? What happened? Everyone loved it before?? I thought?? Did I mess up?”
NOT COMMENTING ON A MULTI-CHAPTER FIC IS LIKE GOING TO THE THEATRE AND NOT CLAPPING BETWEEN SCENES. LIKE THERE IS NO APPLAUSE AT INTERMISSION.
Love your author. They need it.

We were dancing but all of a sudden it’s a slow song and we’re standing here awkwardly staring at each other
I just told you I liked you but now I’m shy and say “never mind, forget it” and why are you looking at me like that?

Wait, my hero’s secret identity is… you? To be honest, I’d always kind of hoped…
You’ve said you’re going to leave, but I don’t want you to go and if I don’t say something now…
We were pretending to be lovers but I’m not pretending anymore and I have to know if you feel the same way
